Hey guys. I have a request. I am wanting to get some Dual Piller gauges (auto meter) for my 1999 Z28. The thing is I am not sure of what would be the best as far as gauges to get. I know I am wanting a Water temp, since ours in the car is no more then a idiot light. but as for the other, I would like something that would be useful in the car. I don't have a lot of engine mods yet, and not sure what will be in the future, but for now I have a LS1 motorsport lid w/K&N, FRA mod, Descreened maf, Throttle body bypass, HPP3, Flowmaster exhaust (soon to be corsa), and 3.73 gear and 160 stat coming soon. I thought about a air fuel ratio or a trans temp or Fuel Pressure. Sorry this is long but basically is there another gauge that would be functional or useful with the mods I have? What all is needed for our cars when using some of the guages that anybody suggest (I.E. issolater for fuel)? Or with no more mods then I have would you just not do guages. Thanks in advance everybody.

Considering the mods you have (with no serious power adders) you should also look into an oil pressure gauge. A secondary oil pressure guage isn't a bad idea...spun bearings are a nightmare. Just a thought.

 

Air fuel gauges are a waste of money..

Fuel Pressure is #1 priority followed by the pil pressure

 

A little off topic but why are air/fuel gauges a waste of money? I suspect my car is running lean right now and that SEEMS like it would be helpful. I don't know so that's why I ask

 

they are mostly just a light show. if you have a proper tune on your car, you really wouldnt have to worry about a/f unless you mess around with boost or add other mods.

 

So can there be any real benifit to the fuel pressure guage w/ the mods I have? Thanks again.

 

you certainly dont need the fp gauge and, in all honesty, you dont need any at all. wait until you put alot of power in (FI, n2o, or H/C) then get some.
